CHILDS SEAT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 19, 1909.

Application filed March 30, 1908. Serial No. 424,129.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUELLA Soon, a citizen of the United States,residing at Sandwich, in the county of Dekalb and State of Illinois,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Childrens Seats, ofwhich the following is a specification.

Hy invention relates to an improvement in childrens seats, and-theobject is to so construct the seat that it can be secured to the back ofthe seat of a wagon or the back of a chair or like object, and which canbe folded up in a very small compass when not in use.

The invention consists of certain novel features of construction andcombinations of parts which will be hereinafter described and pointedout in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view, and Fig. 2is a view showing the invention collapsed or folded.

A, represents the support, which is preferably made of metal and bentdownwardly at its upper end as at 1 whereby it is hooked over the objectfor supporting the seat. Hinged to the lower end of the support A is aseat C, and pivotally connected to the parallel rods 2, 2 of the supportare the side pieces 3, 3 of the seat. The side pieces 3, 3 are providedwith openings 4, 4 through which a strap 5 is adapted to pass forholding the child in the seat.

Secured to the side pieces 3 are the cleats 6, and secured to the seat Oare the stops 7 The cleats 6 are provided with flanges adapted tooverlie the top of the seat when the seat is lowered and to form asupport or brace for the sides. The stops 7 on the seatlimit themovement of the sides.

When the seat is not in use the side pieces 3, 3 are swung around backof the rods 2, 2 and beneath the bent down portion 1. The seat portion Cis folded up in front of the rods whereby the entire seat forms a verysmall compass.

It will be seen that I have provided a very simple article which can beattached to any carriage seat or chair. Again the seat can be folded ina very small compass for shipment, and can be made at a very small cost.

It is evident that more or less slight changes might be made in the formand arrangement of the several parts described without departing fromthe spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limitmyself to the exact construction herein set forth, but

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is A folding seat comprising a rod bent to forma supporting hook and two vertically parallel supports, a bar rigidlyconnecting the lower ends of the supports, a seat hinged to the bar,sides hinged to the-parallel supports, cleats on the sides adaptedtorest upon the seat forming a brace for the sides, and stops secured tothe seat for limiting the movement of the sides.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

LUELLA SCOTT.
